Delivering a statement via Truth Social returning from the G7 in France.  President Trump has suspended the nomination of SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, cancelling Wednesday afternoon’s SSCI hearing on the nomination.

The late-night timing appears to be due to President Trump focused on the G7 discussions and now turns his focus back to the domestic agenda; DNI, Save America Act and FISA (702) reauthorization.

President Trump outlines in the Truth Social post that FISA (702) renewal must be attached to the Save America Act, and Jay Clayton’s replacement, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed to replace Clayton in the SDNY prior to the DNI nomination moving forward. This position puts Bill Pulte’s appointment as Acting DNI back into the mix.

VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.

Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.

In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.

Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.

Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

None of these back-and-forth moves would be necessary if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune were aligned with the Republican President. Alas, with Thune representing a dysfunctional wing of a Senate UniParty, his priorities are in alignment against the President.

President Trump delivers remarks during a bilateral discussion with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani the Emir of Qatar. As previously noted, the G7 is no longer an assembly of the industrial nations. The G7 has morphed into a meeting of multiple nations unattached to the original intent.

The primary discussion surrounded the current deal with Iran for a cessation of hostilities.

The G7 was originally constructed as an assembly for the U.S, Japan, Canada, Germany, Italy, France and the U.K.  However, in the past several years it has abandoned its limited economic purpose and agenda and morphed into an assembly of nations far beyond the original intent.

Now we watch the ridiculous assemblies of dozens of nations who come under the guise of the G7 to discuss everything from cow-farting mitigation to the best weapons and techniques to fight the Russians.  The economic focus of the G7 is entirely lost.  This will never be more evident than the current apex assembly of leaders brought together at the invitation of Emmanuel Macron in France.  Watch, and you’ll see how geopolitically ridiculous this has become.

Media in the U.K have discovered their domestic equivalent of the American Community Relations Service (CRS).  In Britain the public manipulation operation is run out of an intelligence sub-silo known as the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU.

Both the American government’s CRS, run out of the Dept of Justice, and the British government’s RICU do exactly the same thing.  They manufacture narratives, promote domestic propaganda and support leftist ideology within news cycles.  If there is an event that represents something culturally awkward, like a minority specifically targeting a white person, both the CRS and the RICU quickly go into action to control public information.

Both government organizations can reach into the systems of law and order, police and courts, and instruct the participants about what types of information can be released to the public.  The CRS or RICU then control all information to ensure it is in alignment with the ideological message of the government.   WATCH:

Readers here will likely remember our frequent discussions of the secretive Community Relations Service, within the DOJ.  President Trump initially took apart the CRS, but in the legislative branch congress fully restored the CRS in the continuing resolution funding bill.

DAILY MAIL – […] The 22-strong unit was established in 2007 by the late Charles Farr, a former MI6 officer, as part of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy.

Modelled on the Information Research Department (IRD), a propaganda unit established by the Attlee government in 1948 to blacken the names of communists and other political opponents, RICU operates out of the Home Office’s Westminster headquarters.

There comes a certain point when you just have to listen to the corrupt deep state operatives within the Intelligence Community openly state the nature of their activity.

Yes, I have laid it out for multiple years. Yes, people have not grasped how Machiavellian the network is. Yes, the DC denial and media obfuscation is rampant. However, just listen to them and they will eventually tell you exactly how weaponized the United States intelligence system is.  This is a quote:

…“Well, my fear is not so much the damage [Pulte] could do on Section 702, which has a full audit trail. If he misuses that, we’ll figure it out but having him exposed where he doesn’t even have a security clearance to all our nation’s classified programs, out of ignorance, he might give away information. I’ve had heads of our intelligence communities say to us they’re terrified of showing him information. I’ve had foreign governments express huge concern.“

Obviously, playing the role of guardian for the system, Margaret Brennan doesn’t immediately ask, who are these “heads of our intelligence communities?” or “who are these foreign governments?”  Likely for the same reason HPSCI member Elise Stefanik never pressed the rogue political operation issue with FBI Director James Comey on March 20, 2017.

[FULL Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We’re joined now by the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Virginia Senator Mark Warner. It’s good to have you here.

ENATOR MARK WARNER: Thank you, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: As you heard from the Secretary, a lot of these very important details have to still be negotiated. What do you think, though, of the emerging ceasefire and agreement, because you favored diplomacy?

As a result of irreconcilable intransigence surrounding Bill Pulte as Acting DNI, President Trump is now moving to attach the FISA reauthorization to the Save America Act.

Additionally, the intransigence is giving President Trump pause to ask exactly why the Senate is so concerned about a seemingly innocuous and very temporary DNI position as previously outlined:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth appears on CBS Face the Nation as Margaret Brennan recovers from Kirsten Welker stealing all her glory in last week Trump’s interview.

Determined to put herself back in the running for Best Dramatic Acting in a Live Recorded Political Event, Mrs. Brennan takes pearl clutching to new levels and reaches deep into her narrative pretending skills to make today the penultimate end of the world media day for the future of all mankind.

Yes America, it’s a serious challenge to the teeth bearing Welker approach last weekend; however, but Brennan takes a deep breath, tries to ignore concerns about soccer games distracting her audience, and rises to the moment.  Video and Transcript Below:

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: This morning, the Israeli Defense Force conducted strikes in Lebanon on Beirut’s southern suburbs to target the Iranian-backed Hezbollah leadership. The IDF called it retaliation for strikes on Israel. CBS has learned the potential US-Iran truce includes a vague reference to ending the fighting in Lebanon, which may not be enough for Iran’s leaders. And Iran’s failure to cut off support for its proxy force, Hezbollah, may not be enough for America’s partner, Israel. For the latest, we begin this morning with Secretary of Defense Hegseth, who joins us from Tennessee. Mr. Secretary, welcome to Face the Nation.

DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH: Good morning, Margaret. Thank you.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, did the Hezbollah Israel strikes disrupt any of the plans to have this memorandum signed today. Are we on track for a Sunday signing?

(more…)

It is a little obvious from the tone of the Truth Social reports, that President Trump is more than a little frustrated that Israel continues strikes into Lebanon which pose a potential disruption to the negotiated terms with Iran.

[TRUTH SOCIAL] – “This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Several DC journalists have reportedly been in contact with President Trump and are sending reports on the X platform about the nature of their discussions with him.

President Trump has announced a deal with Iran that takes away the nuclear option.  According to the Truth Social announcement, the signing of the agreement is scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday).

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.

The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands.”
